The world's largest watermelon is from Oklahoma
The world record for the largest watermelon grown is 255 pounds, grown by Vernon Conrad of Bixby, Oklahoma.
Those wacky japanese have figured out a way to grow square watermelons...it is so they will fit in the fridge easier.

Recipe for fried watermelon...damn...you can fry anything
Cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the pulp. Remove any seeds from the pulp and cut the pulp into. diamonds. Coat with the flour. Mix the egg whites with cornstarch and a little water into a batter.
Heat the oil in a wok over high fire to about 250oF(120oC), or until small bubbles appear around a 1 inch (2 cm) cube of day-old bread dropped into the oil. Dip the watermelon pieces in the batter and add to the oil. Deep-fry until the coating becomes firm. Turn off the heat and continue to deep-fry the watermelon until light brown. Remove, drain well, sprinkle with the sugar, and serve.
